Jenna is a waitress with a mastery in piemaking. She has big dreams of opening a pie shop, and those dreams fuel her languid days in a boring small town and even more lifeless marriage. When Jenna becomes unexpectedly pregnant, she fears that she’ll never be able to see her piemaking dreams come to fruition. Right when she’s about to give up, Jenna learns of a piemaking contest in a neighboring county just as she meets a handsome doctor who might give her a new recipe for happiness. Can she summon the courage it takes to make her dreams her destiny? Based on Adrienne Shelly’s movie, Waitress features original music and lyrics by six-time Grammy Award nominee Sara Bareilles.
